This is the audio from a podcast interview where I got to chat with MiCAMP’s Michael Cousins and Nathan Fazer. We talk about school and work and motivation and creativity and the ups and downs of it all. It was fun chatting with these fellow Michiganders. It’s over an hour long so if I see in the analytics that anyone made it all the way through I will completely assume it was running while you left to do other things and forgot to close your browser.

Here’s that interactive tour of the Mt. Pleasant water department that Malcolm Fox let me make!
